Corporate mainstream media outlets have consistently shown a dismissive attitude toward parents of vaccine-injured children – an attitude of silence and biased reporting. Those same media outlets commonly omit the laundry list of inherent problems with the practice of vaccination, the vaccine industry, and the government agencies that are supposed to regulate it. Little, if any, corporate mainstream media reporting has ever been done on the US Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (Vaccine Court), which has paid out over $3.7 billion in settlements to Americans, who have been injured, disabled, or killed as a direct result of severe adverse reactions from vaccination.

Historically, few media outlets have allowed a parent to tell how they witnessed their child’s regression into autism directly after vaccination. The Vaxxed bus, touring nonstop for over a year, has collected and recorded thousands of these stories across the US alone, giving a voice to those whom the large media outlets have made invisible. Why won’t the corporate media touch vaccine injury or the environmental triggers surrounding the genesis of autism? Why won’t the corporate media give a fair platform to the parents’ stories chronicling their children’s vaccine injuries, regression into autism, and recovery?

Over the last three months, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been invited to appear on Fox News on two separate occasions. Host Tucker Carlson, for reasons unknown, has decided to break a long-standing media boycott on reporting information that runs in opposition to Big Pharma’s talking points and mandatory vaccination agendas playing out on a global stage. The statements made by Kennedy Jr. on Fox News have rarely been allowed to be aired on any American corporate mainstream media outlet:

“I’ve been meeting recently with the heads of various federal agencies and one of the shocking things about vaccines is that there’s very little safety testing.”

"The CDC has been characterized by at least four federal studies as a cesspool of corruption because of its pervasive interactions, entanglements I would say, with the vaccine industry. The CDC vaccine branch is really a subsidiary of the vaccine industry. It sells $4.1 billion worth of vaccines a year. It spends about $4.6 billion, almost half of its budget, promoting vaccines.”

“Today’s children get 74 vaccines, 74 shots of 16 vaccines, and nobody has ever tested what all those vaccines do together. And in fact, many of the vaccines have not been tested at all for the illnesses that are associated with them.”

“I'm called anti-vax all the time because the pharmaceutical industry is so powerful...both with the media – they give $5.4 billion dollars a year to the media…This is the second show in 10 years that's allowed me to talk about this, the other being Bill Maher, which doesn't take advertising [from Big Pharma].”

For Dara Berger, mother of a vaccine-injured child and author of How to Prevent Autism: Expert Advice from Medical Professionals, an invitation to be interviewed by the media outlet Salon caused hesitation. In the past, typically the only time mainstream media outlets would invite a parent to tell their child’s vaccine injury story would be to set them up for a hit piece. For those who may not understand the adversarial nature of mainstream media, in this case Salon, towards the reporting of information that casts doubt upon the vaccine industry, their headlines say it all:

Although Berger knew the chances of a fair interview were slim, she courageously agreed to the conversation with Salon in hopes to reach a small section of their audience with the truth that autism is preventable and treatable. Berger shared her Salon interview experience with Highwire host Del Bigtree:

“I went in for the interview and Del, I was slammed from the second this guy opened his mouth, he was attacking me. You would have thought he was throwing left, right jabs one after the other. I just tried to stay cool, tried to get the information across that I was there to get across.”

In fact, the interview was so abusive that Salon trashed it and decided to film a second interview with Berger using a different reporter. Berger’s second Salon interview was more civil. As the interviewer, Mary Elizabeth Williams, flaunted the typical mainstream arguments for vaccination, Berger calmly handled each question with poise and deeper understanding than most corporate media narratives normally allow. And in doing so Berger exposed a new audience to hard truths omitted from Salon’s reporting. To close out the Salon interview, Williams posed a question, to which Berger gave the answer that resonated deeply with millions of warrior parents, now a critical mass of families affected by vaccine injury, who will never stop until truth and justice see the light.

WILLIAMS: “Is there anything, is there any piece of information, any study, any piece of compelling evidence that could be presented to you that would make you believe that vaccines are not a contributing factor to autism?”

BERGER: “Well, I’m going to go by my own experience.I brought my son to the pediatrician at 5:30 pm. I immediately noticed something was wrong with him. He went white as a ghost, and I had to look at him every half block on the way home. I got home, fed him, I put him to bed, and the next morning he never spoke again for 7 years. We went and got an MRI, it showed two ischemic strokes. Okay, so there’s nothing to convince me that vaccines are safe for my child. Ten years later we are still feeling the effects of a HIB shot at 18 months and it’s been devastating. Autism affects every single area of you life…You can’t even imagine for one-second the suffering…and I will go to my grave regretting one thing in my life that I have done, that I listened to that doctor and I let her vaccinate him. I will always remember that. It is the only regret I will ever have in my life.”

With so many angles to spotlight the truth within a controlled media narrative of ‘safe and effective’ vaccines, it is imperative that parents who wish to expose this debate to a mainstream audience begin to branch out. Kennedy Jr's Fox News appearances and Berger’s Salon interview both serve as great examples of how to stay calm and deliver the truth within a tightly controlled media narrative. While most of the mainstream media desperately cling to rigid talking points, their platforms are beginning to be leveraged to deliver truth to the larger masses ready to hear about the multitude of issues surrounding vaccination.
